Control Channels

[keithmj]

I am trying to set my Pinellas County, Florida Fire/EMS feed so it doesn't keep having problems..Should I be using just the Control Channels or all the channels. It keeps sticking on a channel.

Also when I use control channels only I keep getting frequencies showing on the scanner that I don't even have programmed into the scanner?

Here is the talk group IDs that I am using..Does anyone know of any others that I should add?

36896 902 Fire 1-B (North TAC) Fire-Tac
36928 904 Fire 1-C Fire-Talk

Yea for the most part the control channels is what you put in. As far as the other frequency showing up that is the voice channel frequency that the actual voice is on, the control channels tells the radio what voice channel to go to. If you take a look at the System Frequencies(ones in black) for the system you are monitoring you will see those frequency showing up as the voice channels on your scanner.
